You can stop hunting for a good book because with this one you have definitely found one. There are not that many books that have you deciding even before you have finished the first page that you will be adding it to your audio book collection but this is one. Even having only read it a few days ago I can still say Oh wow!! Just when you thought it was safe to leave your house again, Leslie Wolfe comes out with a thriller like this. The story is told from two perspectives, one from a kidnapped woman as she struggles to survive and Tess an FBI agent trying to apprehend the kidnapper. This works for the story and takes you on a roller coaster ride, along with the characters. I have read very book in this series and can honestly say I have loved them all, I thought Tess was although slightly damaged a strong and capable women and I would want her on my side but Kiana is a whole new level, even where Tess was afraid to tread Kiana was in her element. The unusual banter between the characters (Donovan in particular) is missing, which just goes to show the seriousness of the case and while I did miss it, it meant the focus was all on the case and the determination of one woman to stay a live. A captivating story until the very end and a must listen.
When a woman is found deep in the Everglades, FBI special agent Tess Winnett is called in. The woman has been missing for seven months and her battered body tells a story that she is unwilling or unable to tell. It seems someone worse than a crocodile lives in the swamp land. As Tess and her team start investigating they quickly learn that she is not the first missing woman although no other bodies have been discovered and unless they stop him she won’t be the last. Can Tess turn the tables and make the hunter become the hunted?
I like the narrator. She helps you experience the emotion and drama along with the characters, luckily she doesn’t take you as far as the torture.
This is a good example of girl power from the skilfull author to weave an engaging story, the talented author who takes you on the journey and even the capable strong characters traipsing through the swamp.
